I definitely feel this one. I often feel completely worthless as a developer when I read sites like HN. I can barely grasp a lot of the cool stuff people are doing. It makes me feel like I don't belong in the industry and seriously dep

It's still easily twice what I am making in Canada and our wages are closer to America than Europe's are. The worst part for me is working directly with Americans and knowing they're getting paid for more for the same job.

Floor panels rust if they end up in constant contact with dampness, it's not a design flaw so much as the expected result. You should never let the floor inside the car stay damp/wet. In places where salt is heavily used on roads

I can pretty much guarantee most of the people commenting things like this wouldn't risk their lives to do the same. It's very easy to type it out and pretend in your imagination, but reality is quite a different matter.

Maybe, but it's the truth. Most events don't matter on a local or individual level and having access to global news updated every single second is a very recent development, one that seems to be contributing to an incredible amoun
